Identify the standard NTFS file permissions. NTFS file and folder permissions are defined in this article on Microsoft TechNet: Permissions.
Activity
Create an icon to represent the permission you’re assigned. Icons are notoriously low on detail, yet are relied on to convey a lot of information. It's a huge challenge! But imagine the power of the most well-known icons such as "open", "save", "copy", and "undo" in the toolbar of your favorite software.
There are a bunch of tools you can use to create your icon:
Windows Paint (suggested)
Colored pencils on paper, then scanned in to the computer
Photoshop or The GIMP (these may be overkill)
Parameters
Windows icons are a standard size and file format.
Size: 32x32 pixels
File saved with a .gif extension (real icons have a .ico extension, but a gif will show up better on a web page)
Image conveys meaning of your permission
Example
The folder permission “List Folder Contents”.
The official definition says:
List Folder allows or denies viewing file names and subfolder names within the folder. List Folder only affects the contents of that folder and does not affect whether the folder you are setting the permission on will be listed. (Applies to folders only.)
My icon:
Explanation:
The main element is a file folder. I drew a purple arrow coming out of the folder with a series of red lines to represent a list of items.
List Folder allows or denies viewing file names and subfolder names within the folder. List Folder only affects the contents of that folder and does not affect whether the folder you are setting the permission on will be listed. (Applies to folders only.)
